Two troopers were ambushed outside a state police barracks in north-eastern Pennsylvania during a late-night shift change, leaving one dead and another injured, and authorities were searching on Saturday for the suspect or suspects, state police said.

One trooper was leaving the barracks in Blooming Grove, Pike County, and another was arriving when shots were fired at 10.50pm on Friday, the state police commissioner, Frank Noonan, said. He confirmed that one trooper was killed and the other was injured and taken to Geisinger medical centre in Scranton, where he was in stable condition after undergoing surgery.

Noonan provided few details on the shooting but said the attack seemed to be directed at state police.

“This has been an emotional night for all of us,” he told reporters.
